"Okay, remember how I said we were going to go over divination more today? I lied. Mostly because I forgot I told you guys we were gonna be having monthly quizzes. Because I didn't give you time to prep, it'll be an easy one this time, and we'll have some time for you to review your notes or ask questions before you take the quiz."

1. Sympathy is making something happen to a thing or person by doing it to a picture or a mock-up, like your classic voodoo doll. Contagion is when you add in bits that were attached to the original, like sticking my hair on a Ken doll, and could we skip doing that by the way because visual image wrong in so many ways? And antipathy is like... the opposite. It's stuff bouncing back at you because you break the rules. You hit hard and the universe bounces back at you just as hard.
2. They all start wearing shorter skirts and stealing each other's boyfriends the minute they figure out how to do magic. Wait, that first part's not negative. That even the good ones mostly want to use it for silly stuff, like changing their haircolor, and cool stupid party games?
3. What goes around comes around is really more like 'instant karma' I think - from what I got lectured by a well-meaning friend when I whined about having totally earned the bad week I was having read, the real thing is meant to be a lot more stretched out, like over more than one lifetime - and it's not so much getting instantly smacked for what you did like antipathy, more like the universe teaching you things you need to know, based on your past screw-ups.
4. Looking into something - a crystal ball or a mirror or water - to see if you can see visions.
